I've tried playing OG System Shock, Enhanced Edition and the Remake. Far as I can tell, it's a hard game to get into. System Shock 2 is much more streamlined and accessible. It has also become an almost yearly replay to me. I love the concept of SS1, I would love to be able to play through the entire thing. But it was in that weird era of PC shooters where intuitive controls and game design trump all. Same reason I don't think STAR WARS: Dark Forces 2 doesn't get the recognition it deserves. First Person PC games just weren't intuitive enough at the time. Especially System Shock 1. It was just too ambitious for the tech at the time.
I was 6 when SS1 came out. My only real exposure to first person PC gaming at that time was DOOM I&II and whatever RPG my Dad was playing at the time. Think it was Ultima. Shit was just too esoteric and interpretive.
